From miguel de Portugal

Let us examine a Gospel reading which is ignored from the pulpit and, logically, by the faithful while it harms the faith subconsciously:

From the NIV Bible


The reason that it is ignored is because it appears that Jesus is telling us to submit to evil. As a matter of fact, it appears that He is telling us to cooperate with evil, i.e. but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other, etc.

Having attended public daily Masses from 1985 through 1998 [= 4,745 Masses] I have never heard an "Evangelizer" place the above message in perspective. Through the Grace of God we will do so for those who read our pages. To do so let us review other Gospel readings:

From the NIV Bible


From the second set of readings it is obvious that Jesus is not proposing to have our hands and feet cut off if one has the tendency to sin using/because of any one of them. Being that the only one who could ever cast the first stone [John 8:7] is the Virgin Mary, we are all sinners, then, if those requirements were followed literally, the Christian world would be full of humans without hands and feet.

Now, referring back to the initial Gospel readings which we attempting to clarify for the faithful....

What Jesus is telling us through Matthew 5:38-41 is precisely that: We are not to counter an evil act, with another evil act. What we are to do is what Jesus said elsewhere:


We pray that this apparent incoherence has become clear to all Christians who read our pages worldwide.


Regarding the steady increase of earthquakes in our planet.....

The increase continues, but we no longer report on them since, to gather the information and process it is another time consuming task, and as we have reminded our readers recently:  The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. [Matthew 9:37]

Therefore, our readers can now...


On these, and other related matters, our readers are, just as an Oregon Senator advised his constituents, on their own.


From miguel de Portugal

Whenever I think that we are being too harsh in judging the increasing zombie like behavior of most humans on a global scale, God steps in to remind me that we are not being harsh at all; that we are being realistic.

My son is working for a Security company in California until he is able to secure the disability benefits due to his mortal illness. A few days back he was seriously stabbed while on duty. So seriously that the paramedics could not stop the bleeding... which had to be stopped at the Hospital Emergency Room.

Being a well-bred and conscious man, he called the dispatcher of the Security company for whom he works to inform them that he had been stabbed, that he was bleeding (literally) to death and had to leave his post to be rushed to the hospital.

What did the dispatcher say? "Oh, no! You must stay there until a replacement arrives!"  My son, once again tried to explain to the dispatcher the situation at hand, to which she responded in the same manner.  At this point, he hung up the phone and the paramedics rushed him to the hospital.

This is the type of Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz world we live in and which most try to ignore.

P.S. Through the Grace of God, literally!, no organs were pierced - just flesh, muscles and an artery. The wounds were stitched and he is at home recuperating. He should be at work again in a week.


The Last Post on the Board is....


July 25th

From miguel de Portugal
 
The Gospel for the Mass on the 22nd [Jn 20:1-2, 11-18], honoring Mary Magdalene, contained one of our favorite scenes:


Here we read about coming face to face with Jesus and not recognizing Him - a reality about which Christians should be very aware of. Some may ask: "Why so?" Because He alerted us about it and the possible negative consequences that it may have depending on our response....



Of course, if we act in the manner which should draw the response: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world , but we do so out of fear, we may not get that joyful response from Him. Our behavior should come about in a natural manner triggered by love for Him and not fear of Him.

If someone is now thinking about how to apply the above to the refugee crisis in the US-Mexico border..... God Willing we will address that in a future post.


Who has not heard....  about Mr. Trump insulting four US Congresswomen because of their foreign background, even though three were born and raised in the US? Precious few!

Now...  Who has heard what the media, as well as the four congresswomen, should have brought up and which would have closed the issue? Probably no one!

Allow us to explain....

The CEO (Chief Executive Officer, mind you, not the mail room clerk), of probably the most influential, thus powerful, company in the world - Google - is Mr. Sundar Pichai. Let us now review Mr. Pichai's background.

According to verified information provided by Wikipedia, this is Mr. Pichai's background:

From his school record he has only been in the US since 1993 after graduating from the Indian Institute of Technology.

Therefore, if anyone, using Mr. Trump parameters, should be the target of a similar concern, it should logically be Mr. Sundar Pichai and not three US born and raised, plus one naturalized, congresswomen. The power those four women wield is completely insignificant - not even worth considering - when compared with the global power Mr. Pichai.... has without even having any security clearance.

Note: This is not an anti-Mr. Pichai post. The purpose of this post is to illustrate that:


From miguel de Portugal
 
With the many times that we have read, heard and repeated Jesus' last words, most seldom we have stopped to think who Jesus was referring to when He prayed:


The answer lies in the next sentence:


He was obviously referring to the Romans who were pressured/manipulated by the Temple Masters into crucifying the Messiah.

The Temple Masters had to know who Jesus really was. They had access to, and supposedly great knowledge of, the same many crystal clear prophecies that we now do showing, without a doubt, Who Jesus was.

The masses would never have harmed Jesus as confirmed by the Temple Masters own words since they did not even dare to speak evil of John the Baptist: 


If we take a quick social group inventory of Jersualem and surrounding areas at that time, we see that there were three groups:


Obviously He was interceding before the Father on behalf of the Romans who were, in their ignorance, manipulated to crucify the Messiah.

That is why when....


A the saying goes, those are some shoes I would hate to be in.... the same shoes that the controlling Hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church will be in at that time.

From Mrs. IW @ US
[an excerpt from her letter]

... since we last spoke, my husband wound up needing another surgery and another 10 day hospital stay as his amputation infected. He was just released again a few days ago....

...The stress of back and forth to the hospital every day, while still trying to take care of the farm, and remaining animals, is great...
.....

With all that has been going on these last months, I have not been unable to pray the Chaplet of Mercy at 3 PM every day like I would like to and I feel so awful when I don't.

I have my daily 3 PM alarm set on my phone to remind me, as well as my noon alarm for my Angelus Prayer but there have been many days lately that I am just unable to.

I know you were able to get offer all of your prayers even when you exercised two professions.... so that makes me feel even worse because I think: What is wrong with me that I can't do so too? Then I end up feeling even worse that I let you, our Focused Prayer group, God and myself down every time I miss it.

I try to console myself that God understands but I am my own worst enemy at times.
.....

With much love, peace, and blessings.

IW

A. First of all - you are not to compare yourself with miguel or anyone else. As we have stated many times, our patrons to strive to imitate are Jesus and Mary, and no one else.

Each one of us is a unique being with a unique set of Graces as well as unique set of circumstances and problems. For example, you state: "I know you were able to get offer all of your prayers even when you exercised two professions..." yet you do not have an idea of the system he worked within.

The secret was that miguel prayer's life was worked within his system of operation at the time. The only thing that was fixed before he went to bed was which Mass he would be participating in the following day.... and that was not difficult because he had four acceptable parishes, each one with two to four Masses per day, to choose from. So the options were many. This is not the same as if one had only one or two valid Masses available to participate in.

Second - miguel drove over 3,000 miles per month just within the Houston Metroplex (his two offices were 50 miles apart). Therefore he developed, with the Grace of God, the ability to meditate Rosaries as he drove those 3,000 miles. Whenever he had to wait for an appointment or was in long line for something - he would use that time for more prayer. In the jewelry business - we had to pick up and store in the safe the entire jewelry inventory every single day - that was another Rosary.... and on and on...

The only fixed prayers were Mass, the Angelus at Noon, the Prayer of Mercy at 3 P.M. and the daily Hour of Adoration which, if he could not work in during his 12-16 hour work day, he could fall back in the 24 hour a day Adoration Chapel in the Houston metroplex. Of course, as he drove to the Adoration Chapel he was praying another Rosary.

Our point is that one must intertwine one's work day and available facilities with one's daily prayers wherever possible - which make each individual's situation very unique. For example, you could pray Rosaries in your travels to and from the hospitals, in the M.D.'s and hospitals waiting rooms, etc., etc.

Therefore - stop denigrating yourself! 

Regarding the Focused Prayer effort - considering that we know that your daily life is a veritable, and variable, Calvary, this is what we the recommend:


And yes, as we hav also told you many times, you can be your worse enemy at times because you allow satan to manipulate you through guilt. You must not allow him to do that to you.


From miguel de Portugal

Speaking of defeating satan.... During our day we offer - from sixty to seventy times - the following prayer of St. Michael. To wit:


Then, about two weeks ago I woke up while repeatedly offering that prayer with a different beginning - even while I was still asleep in a dreamlike state. It was so clearly from God that we now offer it in its new format which is:
[we have highlighted in bold blue text the areas of difference.]


We felt moved to share this revelation with you. Whether you offer it using the new format or not is strictly between you and God.


Our Latest.... Board Post, which we consider very important, is:

Jesus did not imply that His return was going to be shortly after His Ascension.  That is what the enemies of God promote in order to disprove the validity of the Holy Texts and Marian Apparitions.

Do not be fooled by those wolves disguised as lambs. 

Learn the truth about the timing of His return and believe!


From another Mrs. IW @ US
[an excerpt from her letter]

...In response to this specifically, my father... has always been very spiritual. He doesn't go anywhere without a crucifix in his pocket along with a rosary decade ring. He used to tell me that there isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't grasp that crucifix for strength /assistance.

His health over the last few years has declined significantly.... yet he continues to be my mother's caregiver as he has been for over 40 years.

My mother has suffered through 5 brain surgeries, 3 cancers and and a chronic colon disorder similar to Crohns. She has lost her sense of taste, is blind in one eye and has numerous tumors on her nose that are growing yet they can't be removed, thus causing major pain in her face.

She has undergone a very distinctive personality change caused as a side effect from the last brain surgery. She has become very argumentative with everyone about everything..... Life in and out of the hospital has been the routine for over 40 years.

Your words in your prior correspondence have been very consoling!

Many Prayers and Much Love,

Our mail traffic, at times, is erratic - primarily because all of The M+G+R Foundation and private e-mail through our regular channels is monitored by our "NSA Guardian Angels". That means that it goes through other servers, etc. and may get lost before it reaches its destination.

Therefore:


Outside of letting you know about this, there is really nothing else that we can do except sending again a communication that you may not have received once you notify us.


And the encouraging news are....



miguel de Portugal comments: What all of us need to do is help the faithful come back to the real God they are moved to believe in, and not the one they abandoned as the result of the poor examples of the alleged Evangelizers.

Unfortunately:  The harvest indeed (still) is great, but the labourers (still) are few. [Matthew 9:37]

So you and I should follow His instructions: Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.  [Matthew 9:38]

From miguel de Portugal

In the year 2001 an attentive collaborator called to our attention a document that the U.S. government initially had on-line.

That document - Road Map for National Security : Imperative for Change, Phase III, was "hot off the press" and ready for publication as soon as the date of its embargoed state was reached; that date was January 31, 2001... just 11 days after Mr. Bush's Inauguration. On page vi of said document we can read that the authors recognized how hard its implementation would be, unless, of course there happened to be a 9-11 like event which, of course, was staged for that particular purpose

Two days ago, Divine Providence placed in my hands a document that should be considered the follow up to that Road Map - or better yet, a 'what to do' guide should said Road Map did not work out as planned. Think of it as an official "Plan B".

The official name of the document is: Joint Publication 3-72 : Nuclear Operations : 11 June 2019 - produced jointly by Chiefs of Staff of : The U.S. Departments of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the United States Coast Guard and the Marine Corps

Basically the document spells out our new policy regarding the use of nuclear weapons. Although it contains much interesting information, perhaps the most striking one may be found in Chapter III: Planning and Targeting. Item 1 a. reads as follows:
[our underscoring]


In layman terms: If there is a long drawn out conflict which seems not to have an end in the foreseeable future - as those with Syria and Iran, just two examples of the many on the table - and such situation  becomes a problem for the US, its allies, and partners, a nuclear strike has become a real and pre approved possibility.

The concept is nothing new since it is what Mr. Truman rightfully utilized to justify the nuclear attacks in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The difference now is that it has become an official policy.

We are in no way passing judgment on their conclusions; we are just making the information available to our readers as a confirmation to what we conveyed in our document What Time Is It?  or Are We (Almost) There Yet?


From Mrs. IW @ US

I am so happy you have addressed Pres. Trump's latest comments.  As a Black Female, I cannot tell you the hurt I felt for them and myself.  Then, as if that was not enough, at a campaign rally in Greenville, NC, the attendees were shouting, "send her back."

My assessment is: This is nothing more than a divide and conquer technique. To destroy the Democratic Party, and become President again. He is a master at Marketing. As you pointed out to us before:


Unfortunately, Mr. Trump does not understand they he is destroying the country with his horrible comments. We may never recover on our own.  God will have to intervene. Without a doubt the reason all of the attacks on Trump is that he is not a member of the Globalizers' club so they are exposing him which, in turn, causes him to violently react.

Ultimately, I know that our country has turned into the new Sodom and Gomorrha and needs correction or be destroyed.  From TV to the Movies - how to live sinfully is demonstrated everywhere. Children cannot get away from it even in commercials! 

So I will continue to pray, share information, set an example, and ask for God to forgive me of my own sins.

IW

A. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, views and hurts with us. The moment we heard what Mr. Trump had tweeted we thought of you and your husband.... and the million others who must have felt as you did. On the up side, even Mr. Trump realized he had gone too far and tried to patch the situation by announcing that he was unhappy with his supporters chanting "send her back". 

It is obvious that you have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear and have fully understood all that His children can and should do now: I will continue to pray, share information, set an example, and ask for God to forgive me of my own sins.

To which we say: Amen!


July 18th

From miguel de Portugal

The following Gospel reading seem to have most Biblical experts a bit confused:


If read as is - as well as in other versions - the message is very confusing. Is the Father going to fall with the sparrow?

Some explain it as: without your Father's knowledge; others as: outside your Father's care, etc.

The real message is that nothing happens in this Universe outside the Father's Will - active or passive as we have clearly explained elsewhere.

Now, this brings us to the latest TT - Trump's Tsunami - when he, in the most controversial manner, insulted four female members of Congress based on their ethnic background.

As we have mentioned many times, Mr. Trump became the President of the United States as the manifestation of the Active Will of God. It  was not for the purpose the Opus Dei had when it was executed through Mr. Bannon. The Divine purpose was to place the ultimate stumbling block in the path of the Globalization plan lest even the Elect would be lost.

Mr. Trump's behavior towards those four female Congresswomen was the manifestation of the Passive Will of God - by allowing it. At this point He has yet to reveal to me what was His purpose; if He does, we will share it with our readership. At this point anything that we may say would be pure speculation and that would be as bad as Fake News.

One thing we can be sure of - the real reason has nothing to do with what it may appear to be.


From Mrs. IW @ US
[an excerpt from her letter]

In reference to people suffering as the result of our iniquities and greed, Mrs. IW wrote:


IW

A. Indeed, indeed! Christians very seldom think about this and we should - most specially because the "invoice" of the sin we may cause others to commit is shared by both parties: those who propitiate others to sin, and the ones who sinned as the result of our action/behavior.
 
As just one very common and in vogue example: Consider the "sin invoice" of those, mostly women, who dress provocatively causing many impure thoughts/actions in males? And now that males wear skin tight pants, they are doing the same to women. 

Another very common example - becoming an enabler to anyone whose behavior is destructive. In this case, the enabler will share the "sin invoice" of those who they are enabling PLUS the sins the one who is being enabled trigger in third parties.

No; it is not a pretty picture, as the saying goes.

Peter could not have illustrated better what we mean:
...and since no one can cast the first stone [John 8:7],  we strongly suggest that everyone who reads what we publish make a very real effort to avoid causing others to sin by word, deed or thought. As we do not tire of saying: Purgatory is a reality and not an invention of the Roman Catholic Church. What the RCC invented was to sell false passes out of Purgatory to enrich themselves further.


From miguel de Portugal

We must remember that each one of us has the responsibility to Evangelize - by word and example - those we come in contact with. Not by high pressure tactics or instilling the biggest falsehood of all: fear of a wrathful God.

Those who choose to turn their backs on the Good News after being properly Evangelized by us through word and example, will face the same future that Chorazin and Bethsaida did, if they are bound to Heaven, or that of Capernaum did, if they are bound to hell.


As always - It IS that simple!


July 16th

From miguel de Portugal

Part of the Mass Preface for Sunday Ordinary Time I reads:


In the First Letter of Peter we read:


and


Most of the Faithful do not understand what is meant by the fact that we are part of a "holy priesthood" / "kingly priesthood".

The first step in understanding why we are part of a "holy priesthood" / "kingly priesthood" is to know/understand what was the key function of the priests of the Temple at the time of the advent of Jesus, the Messiah.


In comes Jesus and makes us a holy nation - a holy priesthood, a kingly priesthood - the living stones of a spiritual house: The Mystical Body of Christ.

Now, as part of that Mystical Body of Christ each one of us, invoking the Communion of Saints, can offer prayers and sacrifices to God on behalf of others, just like only the Temple priests could do.

Of course we must not forget that such privilege applies only to those who strive to be part of Jesus Family:


and also


From miguel de Portugal

The Gospel of yesterday's Mass [Mt 10:34 - 11:1] partially read:


That does not mean that Jesus wants the members of the family to fight each other. It means that, for example, a man who is "wheat" must stand his ground even before his father who may be "chaff". We are not to trade our loyalty to Jesus for our loyalty to family - blood or in law - no matter how important the link may be.


 Here He is presenting the same concept in a different and more direct way: Jesus - the Word of God - comes first even before our own parents and children..... and frankly, it is impossible to find anything that is more important than being worthy of Him.

Why? Because...


It really is that simple!... and remember, as the saying goes "I am not just shooting off my mouth" (1a)(1b).  Through His Grace I have been living that for 30+ years.

Please note that I have clearly stated that it was and is "through His Grace" because, without it no human being could. It is only with, and through, God that it is possible.

______________________
(1a) To speak without discretion; to speak too loudly or freely, especially about sensitive topics or information.
(1b) To be annoyingly or overbearingly talkative, especially in a bragging or boastful manner.


Following is another example... of the importance of deferring to the Will of God in everything.

That is the key message in the following Biblical passage from the Second Book of Kings:


The message was (and still is!): That even a prophet of the stature of Elias defers to the Will of God. Eliseus would not have seen Elias going to Heaven if it had not been the Will of God. Thus it was God who truly anointed Eliseus as a fully empowered prophet.

In case that we had missed that, Jesus reminded us again when he told the mother of the sons of Zebedee:


Even Jesus, when walked upon earth as one of us (except in sin), deferred to God, the Father, in such matters.


and once again....


From miguel de Portugal

The following statement is for those readers, not those from our List, who may not be familiar with miguel de Portugal....


With that kind scientific schooling I still believe, no, not believe but know, that the Biblical statements I discussed in the above two entries are absolutely true!

If you think that I am being arrogant, well... that is your prerogative which will not change that reality one iota.

From Mrs. IW @ US

[Note: Following are quotes from a letter sent by a long time supporter. Since each important issue is unique, we will address them individually in blue script text for the convenience of our readers.]

I have been focused on Our Holy Mother’s suffering during the crucifixion. As I understand that Our Lord may have been on the cross for days as opposed to hours -  is there any truth to the fact that Our Lady died with Her Son due to the extreme sorrow she experienced and that she was offered the choice to remain on earth and help establish the Church? Not exactly sure where this thought came from but wanted to ask you for your thoughts/comments.





Regarding a personal concern - I have been very quick to anger at myself for things that go wrong during my daily tasks. Not sure where this is coming from. Short fuse?


I have to keep reminding myself that I am offering these daily sufferings and frustrations to God and that He is there for me with the necessary protection and guidance that I need.

Then I get more frustrated that I should be remembering this in the first place! I know...sounds ridiculous!



I see religion/spirituality in my children becoming less and less important. True...that I am not certain of their personal relationship with Our Father. I am turning this over to Him!

I think back and maybe I was in a similar place at their age and Our Father patiently opened my eyes and turned me onto a better path. Time is short and I keep praying for them to be open to His guidance.






From miguel de Portugal

Regarding our contribution to the "iniquities and greed" which cause the suffering of the Elect, and which we are alleviating through the Focused Prayer group's daily Chaplet of Mercy....

Let us go back to the Gospel...


and

I prefer to be one who does not feel justified in casting the first stone and who prefers to take the publican's stance. I have yet met one single human being who can justifiably cast the first stone or be in the state the Pharisee thought himself to be in.

Even a theoretically immaculate individual who does not assiduously pray and/or offer sacrifice for those: (a) who have no one praying for them; (b) who are in most need of Divine Mercy; (c) who are material need (see the news report below); (d) who are in Purgatory; (e) who are about to die without warning; (f) etc., etc.,  since the list is endless, is guilty of iniquity and greed.


Have you heard that.... thousands of America's military families are going hungry?


Comments: This is an outrage and a shame!

We, as a nation just as individuals, must remember that charity begins at home... and we can start by praying for the solution to this matter and writing to our Congressmen not to mention giving them access to the Food Pantries many churches operate.

It is the absolute least that we can do!

From miguel de Portugal

It is simply amazing that if the world was clearly informed through the apparitions at Kibeho, Rwanda, that:


....and the apparitions were approved by the local Bishop and confirmed by the genocide which followed in Rwanda... the Vatican continues to "sit on its hands", a la Fatima, and the "super catholics", who are more interested in the sects they belong to, ignore it?

This is a perfect example that most of the world, be it in the political, religious and social spheres, is in denial and most are so ignorant of the Faith they claim to uphold and defend, that they do not realize what awaits them for said denial.

Isn't it interesting... that when Jesus said through Luke 12:51-53...


....He not say "wife against the husband and husband against the wife"?

He did not because He IS perfectly coherent.  Did He not also say through Mark 10:7-9....?


"Two" turned into "one" and, if that union was made under the principles that we have explained in our document about Matrimony, there will be agreement about the Evangelium - the Good News.  It may be perceived differently by each individual  because each spouse may be at a different point in their journey Home; however, there will not be a rift, a separation, a fundamental conflict. (1)

As we have explained in one place and another - The Holy Scriptures may have been written by men but the inspiration was Divine, for only the Divine can be perfectly coherent.

Amen!

Today we will continue to illustrate to the world that all the misery that has befallen humanity for millennia is of our own doing since humanity refuses to defer to the Will of God.

In the July 5th Divine Encouragement you read:

You will now see why Abraham's descendants - Jews, Christians and Muslims - seem to play in the hands of satan most of the time, no matter how many times God calls them to attention through His prophets.

We have already covered the first defiance to the Will of God when we pointed out the lack of faith of Abraham in God's promise that his wife Sarai would bear his child, who would be the father of many nations. Instead Abraham chose to believe his wife and not God - with grave consequences to humanity. Remember, Ismael, the son that Abraham fathered with Sarai's Egyptian slave, Agar, is the father of the Muslim Nations - most specifically those located in the Middle East.

Now, let's take a look at the birth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. 

The first born of Isaac - the one who by Divine Law - was to carry on the Divine Promise made to Abraham, was Esau. Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a pottage of lentils [Gen. 25:31-34]. That could have been "boy's talk" but if, indeed, Esau was serious, he should have informed his father, Isaac, that he had sold his birthright to Jacob.

But no, that was not the case. Instead, deception - masterminded by Isaac's wife - was used.  They shamelessly tricked Isaac into thinking that he was bestowing his special blessing to Esau instead of unto Jacob [Gen. 27:18-29].

Moving on to the birth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

Jacob falls in love with Rachel, daughter of Laban - his uncle. Jacob has then to work for Laban to have the right to marry Rachel. Then, on the wedding day, Laban switches Lia, Laban's oldest daughter, for Rachel and next morning Jacob finds out that has was tricked and ended up being married to Lia - the daughter Laban wanted to marry first. Then, Jacob had to work another seven years for Laban to be able to also marry Rachel. [Gen. 29:15-30]

If you now read from Genesis 29:31 through Genesis 30:1-25 you will see how Jacob's twelve sons - the heads of the Twelve Tribes of Israel - were conceived. In most cases without deferring to the clear signs of God's Will with the eventual consequences which we are still suffering today.

And the rest is history.... Just as God said:


...and man - Jew, Christian and Muslim - still has not learned!


In Sunday's Gospel....  - Luke 10:1-12, 17-20 - we read one of the most important instructions for Evangelization and one of the most ignored teachings from Jesus:


That is why we like to remind new visitors of the following:


That is, it is a 'take it or leave it' proposition and not a hard sell proposition - as the Evangelizers have been doing for 1,600 years in spite of what Jesus has taught us.


Our latest Board post is....

Without a doubt, God's request through Mrs. L. M. that we look into the Noahide Laws, thus into the Talmud (0), has continued to yield much disturbing information. But before we proceed let us explain what the Talmud consists of:


In the June 22nd post of this forum we summarized that, according to Rev. Pramaitis documented quotes (2), the Talmud, and those who revere the contents of its pages, claim that whatever the learned religious men say is important, while whatever God revealed through the Bible (the Law and the Prophets) is not that important.

To remind the reader of said theological position within context we quote:


and


We then proceeded to review Rev. Pramaitis well referenced book and learned about what the Talmud "teaches" about Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and Christians (5). This was a true revelation to me because it showed the logic behind why the Spanish and Portuguese Kingdoms expelled all Jews from their territories in 1492 an 1496 respectively.

But that is nothing compared with what the Nazi's did, and what else they could have done, with the Jewish population in the empire there were assembling.

Before we continue, let us make sure that the reader understand that we do not believe that most Jews back then and in the 20th century lived the teachings of the Talmud, most specially towards Christians, in spite of its very negative teachings about Christianity. However, by 'slipping into the shoes' of the rulers of Spain and Portuguese back then we can now fully understand their logic.

Regarding the Nazi persecution of Jews.... It was indeed a Heavenly Miracle that Hitler did not exterminate every single Jew within his reach justifying his actions with the contents of the Talmud as highlighted in Rev. Pramaitis book. If he had wielded Rev. Pramaitis exposé of the Talmud and used his satanic persuasive rhetoric, he would have, without a doubt, succeeded in doing such a vile act.

I pray and hope that all the Jews thank God for such immense miracle on their behalf. I am still reeling after the shock about how close that horrific event was from taking place.

Not one hour.... had gone by after finishing the above post when we received the following news report from Euronews:


This is highly disturbing because it reveals what is really just below the surface of the European Union society.

Do you know the difference.... between "being tested" by God and "being tempted" by satan?

As we have pointed out elsewhere, the latin and English versions of the Lord's Prayer contains an offensive statement directed to God.

In those versions - one of them being the Roman Catholic Church official version - we pray (we actually insult God by saying): "...do not lead us into temptation..."

God does not lead His children into temptation; satan leads God's children into temptation. 

So that the true Faithful understand the difference between "Test" and "Temptation" we have used a parable utilizing common world situations:

For an individual with a weakness for chocolate...


For a womanizer...



The Our Father prayer should read instead: "....and do not let us fall prey to temptation..."

From miguel de Portugal

We wish to again show you how easily man can be deceived because he refuses to think. Let us go back to the time when Thomas was told by Jesus:


In the mind of Christians, Thomas has become the symbol of the "un blessed"; the all too famous "doubting Thomas". Conversely, by default, the other Apostles were the Blessed ones according to all Christians.

Wrong!

The other disciples were present when Jesus first showed up [John 20:19-20] and He showed them His side and hands [John 20:20] so, what merit did they have believing that it was Jesus and that He had resurrected? They believed because they saw!! But there is more...

Do you remember when:


As you can see, Thomas was no more of an unbeliever than the rest of them!

What Jesus said, when addressing to Thomas, was meant for all us who were to come later on. He was underscoring that when we believe in Him, without not having seen Him, we are indeed blessed.

Let us stop thinking and learning out of context because the conclusions may be all wrong.

We wish to remind all...

......that the Globalization effort is the, not "a" but "the", manifestation of humanity's rejection to the Divine purpose that we should have learned regarding the Tower of Babel. Let us not waste time arguing whether what we read about the city and tower of Babel is historically correct/accurate or not and focus on the reality that the message is 100% right.

 
Man is trying to outsmart God and reverse His original designs at Babel.

This is just a reminder as to why God will not allow the Globalization effort to succeed.... even if He has to 'take out' 90% of the world population.

and

....that the often spoken about Deep State and Shadow Government's sole purpose is to ensure that the Globalization effort succeeds even if they have to destroy the United States.

We have news for them - would they be able to destroy the US, still their Globalization plans will fail. God will not allow it.  It IS that simple.

For those who vehemently deny the claims of some alleged Conspiracy Theories - we have news for you!
The Manhattan Project involved over one hundred thousand individuals of all walks of life, yet less than one hundred knew what was going on.

Take a look - directly from the source - The National Trust for Historic Preservation which we downloaded in case it disappears from the Internet.

Remember, we are not selling anything - we are trying to wake our readers up before it is too late!


In yesterday's Mass..... Gospel [Mt 8:18-22] we read:


That may sound terribly cold and cruel but we are sure that it was not meant literally. We see it as a graphical way of expressing:


Which obviously does not mean to abandon one's father and mother to allegedly attend/serve God just as He warned against in the Gospel of Mark, ch. 7:


Once again, perfect Divine coherence.

From miguel de Portugal

We read in the news about: (a) The four asteroids which are on collision course with Earth (1); and, depending on the day, (b) The Iran and US situation heating up more; (c) The ups and downs of the relationship between Trump and Kim; and  (d) The ups and downs of the relationship between Trump and Putin.

Allow us to explain what is going on....

We are going to have a Fully Green Apocalypse; or a Partially Radioactive Green Apocalypse; or a Fully Nuclear Apocalypse. God has all those options on His Table and awaiting for our prayers to determine what it is that He will allow.


The final outcome remains in our hands. I am doing what  I was called to do, and to the limits of my health so I am not concerned at all. The question now is: Are you doing what He has called you to do after being re-Evangelized and kept fully informed as to what is going on?
